Been looking for a corn n tater ring since about June when I got into this whole kettle thing. Been seeing them pop up on eBay every now and then, placed my bids, but always get beat. Not going to pay over $100 for one plus shipping. Was hoping to get one in the $50 range after shipping.
I had commented on another persons WTB post about wanting one and WKC member indy82z contacted me on a PM that he has a lead on one and if I wanted it, he could pick it up and ship it out to me. Of course I said yes. Lol. About a week later he sends me pictures of it and tells me it's mine. We figure out shipping and it arrives today. He offered it to me at a great price and didn't even want payment until I physically inspected it and made sure I wanted it. What a gentleman. Can't thank him enough.
Now on to the reason for this post, it's not a new inbox ring, so it's had some use, has surface rust on it pretty much everywhere. Nothing looks to bad to me, but I don't know much about rust and removing it. I might try the vinegar and water thing with some steel wool, but finding a container to soak it in and enough vinegar might be a challenge. Anybody got some other good techniques out there? Here are the pictures.
